Notes de l’épisode
The Springboks have taken control of the series after another huge victory over the All Blacks, but how did they manage to win a game in which New Zealand enjoyed more possession, more carries and more line breaks?
Jean de Villiers, Schalk Burger and the team break down the key moments that decided the Test, from the Boks’ brutal scrum and maul dominance to Rassie Erasmus’ perfectly timed substitutions and the All Blacks’ growing set-piece problem. They also head back into Controversy Corner to dissect the biggest refereeing flashpoints from another fiercely contested encounter.
Plus, with one final Test still to come in Baltimore, the guys ask what is really at stake for the Springboks, whether New Zealand can find an answer to South Africa’s greatest weapon, and what it would mean for this Bok side to finish the series 3-1.

Notes de l’épisode
The Greatest Rivalry is perfectly poised at 1–1 as the Springboks and All Blacks head to the Calabash for a huge third Test in Soweto. Schalk Burger and Jean de Villiers join the Boks Unpacked team to look ahead to what many are calling the true series decider, and discuss exactly what awaits the two sides at one of South African rugby’s great venues.
The boys get stuck into all the controversy from the build-up: Rassie Erasmus’ late team switch, whether rugby’s team-sheet rules need to change, and Dave Rennie’s claims about the Springbok scrum “walking around” — mind games or a genuine technical concern? They also break down where Saturday’s Test could be won and lost, from the aerial battle and backfield defence at altitude to why the Boks may need to go out with the ambition of scoring 40 points.
Plus, Schalk and Jean revisit their own memories of playing the All Blacks at FNB Stadium, debate the future of proper old-school Test tours, reveal some of the toughest opponents they ever faced and, inevitably, share a few stories from the nights out that followed some of rugby’s biggest battles.

The panel also breaks down the All Blacks’ selection, the scrum battle, the return of Siya Kolisi, Ox Nche's 50th Test, Pieter-Steph du Toit’s 100th Test, and whether the previous result was as convincing as the scoreline suggested. Plus, they reveal their predictions for the weekend and discuss the players they expect to make the biggest impact.

Notes de l’épisode
Duane Vermeulen joins the Fan Van for a brilliant look back at a career that delivered some of the defining moments in Springbok history. From the extraordinary turnaround under Rassie Erasmus and why winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup was never actually part of the original plan, to thinking his Bok career was finished before being called back for one final shot at glory in 2023, Duane lifts the lid on what made that generation so special. He also reveals how Rassie first discovered him, the evolution of his coaching over nearly 20 years and why the Springboks’ success ultimately comes down to getting the right people pulling towards one goal.
There are plenty of stories from one of the toughest No.8s to ever play the game too: returning from neck fusion to face Samoa at the 2015 World Cup, picking out defenders as his “customers”, naming Richie McCaw as the toughest opponent he ever faced and recalling some unforgettable battles with the All Blacks. Plus, Duane tells the story of refusing Robbie Fleck’s request to repeat himself in English, accidentally drinking his coach’s entire bottle of brandy and the moment Os du Randt was mistaken for his dad. A proper Fan Van episode with one of South African rugby’s modern greats.

From classic battles against legends like Joost van der Westhuizen and Ma’a Nonu to the physicality, history, and passion that define this rivalry, this episode dives deep into the stories shaping the biggest contests in rugby.

Notes de l’épisode
Springbok legend Percy Montgomery joins the Fan Van to revisit an extraordinary career that made him one of South African rugby’s most recognisable figures. From the long blond hair and white boots to becoming the first Springbok to reach 100 Test caps, Percy reveals the work, pressure and personality behind the image.
He tells the truth behind the controversial incident that led to his six-month playing ban, recalls the terrifying reality of trying to stop Jonah Lomu and explains how his time in Wales transformed both his kicking and his career. Percy also shares the story of Jake White bringing him back into the Springbok setup after he had missed the 2003 World Cup.
That comeback would end with Percy playing a decisive role in South Africa’s triumphant 2007 World Cup campaign. He reflects on the final against England, the discipline that made him one of rugby’s greatest goal-kickers and the journey from being written off to becoming a world champion.

Notes de l’épisode
The Springboks may have survived Scotland’s onslaught, but after missing 50 tackles, just how worried should Rassie Erasmus be? Jean de Villiers joins the team to unpack the Boks’ narrow escape, assess the problems exposed by Scotland and look ahead to a heavily rotated Springbok side facing Wales in Durban.
The panel also debates whether South African rugby is doing enough to keep its best young players at home. With hundreds of talented prospects heading overseas and the average professional in South Africa playing surprisingly few matches, are the current academy and franchise systems wasting an entire generation of talent?
Plus, Jean makes one of the biggest predictions in the show’s history: Ireland will end the All Blacks’ 52-Test unbeaten run at Eden Park. The team also discusses Australia’s alarming collapse, Fiji’s continued struggles, England’s resurgence and all the major talking points ahead of another huge weekend of international rugby.

This week on Boks Unpacked, the boys are back with plenty of rugby, plenty of nonsense, and Jean de Villiers broadcasting from what may or may not be a secret bunker. Schalk Burger, Jean and Shimmy get stuck into social media abuse in sport, George North’s incredible career, and Steve Hansen’s claim that the Springboks are “very beatable” ahead of the huge All Blacks series.
There is also a full breakdown of the Champions Cup drama, with Leinster grinding their way past Toulon, Bordeaux lighting things up again, and Matthieu Jalibert earning serious praise as the We Buy Impact Player of the Week. The guys debate Sharks recruitment, James O’Connor rumours, rugby diets, giant steaks, 24 beers, and whether a drawn Bok-All Blacks series could really come down to extra time or something even stranger.
Plus, the URC run-in heats up with predictions for Ulster vs Stormers, Bulls vs Zebre, Sharks vs Benetton, and Leinster vs Lions. The Millennium XV finally lands on inside centre, Shimmy faces another forfeit, and the Betway Match of the Weekend gets the full treatment.

Notes de l’épisode
The latest Boks Unpacked Rugby episode is packed with laughs, sharp takes, and proper rugby banter as the team dives into a huge weekend of action on and off the field. From Champions Cup drama and URC predictions to birthday chirps, old stories, and some classic dressing-room-style chaos, this one has everything. The panel tackles the controversial officiating around Christoph Ridley and asks the big question after yet another flashpoint: did the Challenge Cup game make the earlier collapse look even worse? There is also plenty of heat around the Sharks, the Stormers, the Bulls and the Lions as the race for the business end of the season starts getting very real.
But this episode is more than just analysis. There is a heartfelt tribute to the late Chippy Solomons, remembering one of the great rugby men and a much-loved figure in Western Province and Stormers circles. Between the emotion, the outrageous one-liners, and the honest rugby insight, the chemistry is on full display as the hosts unpack everything from Toulouse and Bordeaux to Faf’s return, Rory’s Masters drama, and whether the Sharks can still find one final push. It is raw, funny, emotional, and full of the kind of rugby conversation that feels like you are right there in the room with them.

Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, and Hanyani Shimange (host) — break down one of the most controversial Easter weekends in recent Champions Cup history.

We also debate the best and most intimidating rugby stadiums in the world, the schoolboy rugby overload crisis, and Henry Pollock's growing target on his back.
